AX-71C Wide-band
Discone Antenna
Instructions for Use
Start assembly of the antenna by fitting the lock
nuts to the 17 elements. The eight short
elements make up the disc of the antenna and
are attached around the top section of the hub.
A single long element is attached vertically to
the top of the hub. The cone is composed of the
remaining eight long elements. Attach these
elements into their respective locations around
the hub. Lock each element by tightening its
lock nut with a 7mm spanner.
Connection to the receiver is by way of a female
UHF-type connector at the base of the central
hub. The connector is protected from the
weather by the mounting tube but in extremely
harsh conditions, a self-sealing tape can be
applied over the connector for extra protection.
After passing the coaxial cable through the
mounting tube and connecting it to the base of
the hub, fit the mounting tube and fasten using
the supplied screws. The mounting tube can be
clamped or to a supporting structure with
optional clamps (Part #WR-AC-MC-01 see
below)
For optimum performance, the AX-71C should
be mounted at the top of the supporting
structure and clear of other antennas and
metallic objects.
